Patient's question:
My baby is only one month old now. Recently, he has been having diarrhea and a slight fever. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor diagnosed him with enteritis. How should I treat my baby's bloody diarrhea and fever?Doctor's answer:
In addition to blood, can there be white blood cells in routine stool tests? If white blood cells are present, it is not advisable to blindly use anti-diarrheal medication, as this may easily trap the pathogen inside, allowing inflammation to remain unresolved. Naturally, this can lead to fever. Therefore, it is recommended to retest the routine stool analysis to check for the presence of white blood cells.Patients should cultivate a regular sleep schedule and healthy lifestyle, adhere to treatment, and maintain a light diet with aerobic exercise to boost their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
